Sebastian Prendergast lives in a geodesic dome with his eccentric
grandmother, who homeschooled him in the teachings of futurist
philosopher R. Buckminster Fuller. But when his grandmother has a
stroke, Sebastian is forced to leave the dome and make his own way
in town.
Jared Whitcomb is a chain-smoking sixteen-year-old
heart-transplant recipient who befriends Sebastian, and begins to
teach him about all the things he has been missing, including grape
soda, girls, and Sid Vicious. They form a punk band called The
Rash, and it's clear that the upcoming Methodist Church talent show
has never seen the likes of them. Wholly original, "The House of
Tomorrow" is the story of a young man's self-discovery, a dying
woman's last wish, and a band of misfits trying desperately to be
heard.
